Outlaw Josey Wales was born on June 24, 1973 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He first started writing and performing rhymes between the ages of eleven and twelve. At the age of fifteen he placed first in a competition called Spin-off 88 in Philly under the name MC Reckless. A representative of the Coca-Cola company was in the audience and signed him to a promotional tour. He toured twenty cities on the East coast and caught the ear of the legendary Grandmaster Flash. This meeting resulted in a collaboration which produced a three song demo tape. It was successful in that a record deal was offered. Unfortunately, management disputes caused the deal not to be signed.

After this series of events, due to problems at home, music became secondary. Forced to focus on survival, he was in creative limbo for many years.

In early 1995 he was introduced to Chuck Nice, formerly of 3XD. During this time his skills were refined and polished. Because of recent life experiences he decided to change his name to Outlaw Josey Wales.

His latest demo was heard by Lou Moffa, president of a new indie label called Moffa Entertainment. He immediately signed him to his label.

Moffa Entertainment is proud to introduce the soon to be hit single Trying To Escape
